Floral Obscura | Exclusive Gelam Blossom Honey

Exclusive Gelam Blossom Honey | Apis dorsata
Luxury Gourmet Honey | Limited to 30 Jars

✦ What the Jar Holds

A honey that doesn’t just taste, it lingers.
Perfumed, velvety, and gently wild, Floral Obscura is crafted from the fragrant blooms of Malaysia’s coastal Gelam tree, known for its traditional healing virtues and mysterious floral pull.

Harvested in limited volumes by Apis dorsata, the giant forest bee, this honey is prized not only for its botanical depth, but for its unmistakable scent, a soft perfume that unfurls the moment the jar is opened.

✦ Why This Gelam (and Why From Us)

A Rare Wild Bloom. A Sommelier's Muse.

Not all florals are soft, some bloom in quiet power.

Floral Obscura is our most elusive offering, a rare coastal Gelam honey that few seek and fewer still understand.

At Eat Honey Pretty, Gelam is more than a variety. It’s a muse.

This is Nirwana’s personal favorite,  the honey she saves for sacred moments, early-morning journaling, or twilight stillness.
It’s not mass-harvested. It’s not loud. It’s limited, seasonal, and emotionally resonant — a honey chosen by scent, story, and soul.

Curated by Nirwana, Malaysia’s certified honey sommelier, who listens more than she tastes and bottles only what lingers.

What you’re holding isn’t a product.
It’s a perfume. A mood. A message from the trees.

It’s not just rare.
It’s rare with reason.

✦ The Mood

For the one who doesn’t follow beauty,  they carry it.
Moves in silence, wakes with purpose.
Tends to ritual like a horse to rhythm. Calm, exact, and unbothered.
Knows that scent lingers longer than words.
And that true sweetness speaks soft and never begs.
